Your Rapid City Orthodontist
Dr. Page Hudson grew up in Southern California. Before moving to Rapid City, Dr. Hudson, his wife, and their four children lived in Camarillo, CA. He spent many weekends on the sidelines of the soccer fields and the volleyball courts supporting his children!
He‘s always had a passion for helping others and values staying involved with his community and people around him, which led to his interest in orthodontics.
Dr. Hudson is a huge believer in continuing education and is a perpetual student, spending hundreds of hours each year learning about new procedures and incorporating them into our practice.
He‘s treated more than 3,000 patients with Invisalign which has earned him the "Diamond" status through Invisalign!
Rapid City Braces
Traditional braces are one of the most efficient orthodontic tools we have. They're made out of metal or ceramic brackets that are attached to the teeth, then connected by wires and tiny rubber bands or elastics. These brackets, wires, and bands work together to apply the gentle pressure that will gradually move the teeth into the positions we want them to be in if you have regular adjustments with our doctors.
Rapid City braces are an excellent choice for correcting complex tooth issues. Because they can sometimes work faster at aligning teeth and closing gaps than other treatments might, overall treatment time may be slightly reduced. Braces don't need some of the more complex technology or expensive equipment that newer treatments can, making Rapid City braces a cost-effective orthodontic option.
Rapid City Invisalign
Invisalign is incredibly popular with both patients and orthodontists and is the top alternative to traditional braces. Instead of brackets and bands, Rapid City Invisalign system uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten your teeth.
Invisalign aligners are made of a comfortable plastic material and customized to fit snugly over your teeth. In order to keep your teeth moving in the direction you want them to, you'll generally need to switch your invisible trays out every 1-2 weeks for the next in the series. The Invisalign system can only work if the recommended guidelines are followed exactly! Aligners should be worn 20-22 hours per day throughout treatment. If patients neglect to wear the aligners as directed, it can impede the results and also add time to the orthodontic process.
Invisalign is at its most efficient when correcting many of the most common orthodontic issues. For some complex cases, Invisalign may not be a good option. A free consultation with Rapid City Orthodontics will allow us to determine your Invisalign eligibility.
